June 20-July 4, 1995 Dream Towns Debate Your kind of town? After a cross-country quest to find the best towns in which to hang your bike helmet and your shingle, Outside correspondent Mike Steere got online to discuss his findings. Wish you were here? Photographs of the dream towns themselves. You said it: Your letters to Mike, along with his responses. Here we go again: Each time Mike profiles paradise, he gets an earful from the paradiseniks. But perhaps that’s half the fun. Read what Mike has to say for himself. Dubious distinction: Idaho Falls was doing just fine, thank you very much, until it made Mike’s list in “the journal of Lycra-clad-yuppified-Power-Bar-chomping America.” A local columnist speaks out, yet proves Mike’s very point: “We’re so uncool it’s hip.” The story that started it all: It all began when Outside correspondent Mike Steere wrote up the seven most deliciously livable sports towns in the country in his “Dream Towns” story.
